I have had several people ask me about the "Side Stitch" or pain in the side of the adbomen area that they might get while running or exercising. It is usually along the right side of the abdomen and hurts like crazy when it is happening to you. I did a little research and found a great article on the Runnersworld website. This article might give you some insight as to why it might happen. I get a stitch every so often, but not near as often as when I first starting running and exercising. I do believe that it doesn't happen as much since I am in better overall condition now as opposed to then. I asked my sweet husband what his view would be on how to stop a side stitch and he stated "Stop Running"! I laughed at first, but after researching a little more I found another article on the Sportsmedicine website that stated just that...stop running! Show up and make it count!
Additional information can be found by clicking on the name Runnersworld and Sportsmedicine in the article above.

What advice do you give people who have the "oh my god I want to set these effing plates on fire" disease?
